Artemis II faces critical risks: experts warn of system failures, medical crises at lunar distance

Four astronauts face potential life-threatening risks from system failures, medical emergencies, and heat shield failure during a 10-day lunar mission with no rescue options.

For the first time in more than fifty years, four human beings are traveling toward the moon aboard NASA's Artemis II — a mission that carries with it not only the weight of history but the burden of genuine, unresolved danger.
